Guitar-toting burglary suspect accused of stealing from Columbia tanning shop

A Columbia man is now in jail — after presumably trying to start on his summer tan.

Justin Coil was frequently seen by multiple business owners in the area of the shops on East Broadway near Hwy 63.

Just before 3 a.m. on November 13th, Coil was seen entering the Luxury Tan store, and stealing about $200 worth of merchandise.

He was also seen carrying an acoustic guitar.

After investigating, Columbia police caught up with the guitar-toting suspect and took him into custody, with significant resistance.

He’s now in jail on burglary, resisting arrest and drug charges.
